> It first started as heat burning the back of my neck as I rested. I thought that it was just my nerves being so tense. But as I stood up and walked around it disappeared. I have also had burning sensations on my arms and hands. I noticed it twice after I ate something and then also afterwards throughout the day. It also seems to come after 4 hours after taken my Paxil. The doctor knew nothing of this and blamed it on my nerves and that I am too sensitive to my feelings right now.Here is a great link about paxil...

> ThanlsHi All,
Great subject to me. I also have had some intense muscle "burning" with Paxil, mostly when I tried to get off of the drug, which was recently. I decided I still needed to be on it, as I suffered several panic attacks while trying to get off.
My panic attacks are weird, too. There are triggers to some of them...going to the grocery store, visiting certain people, ect. And then sometimes, when I think that I should feel safe from these attacks, I get them out of nowhere. It has taken me quite awhile to convince my brain that I do not need to go to the hospital everytime I get one! I have been back on Paxil 20mg for a couple of weeks now, and successfully got thru the 4th of July celebration. I did notice, however, that it seemed like my body WANTED to have an attack, but it was "masked" by the drug, i.e. the symptoms were 10% of what they usually are, and very easy to deal with.
I get the muscle burning around 8-9 pm every night, I had always presumed that it was the drug wearing off.
Bottom line, if I can manage to be in public in general, I am doing well on Paxil. My attacks got so bad before I seeked treatment that I could't leave the house, and then, I could't leave my bedroom! I have no complaints.
